ACFE CFE-Fraud-Investigations-and-Legal-Issues Exam - Topic 1 Question 5 Discussion
Topic #: 1
Maddie, a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), is investigating allegations that an employee in Pyramid Corporation's Payroll Department is embezzling funds for personal use. Which of the following types of information will Maddie MOST LIKELY be able to obtain from external sources without the subject's consent or the use of a legal order?
Real property records are commonly available through public or external records sources and can help fraud examiners identify assets acquired by a subject. These records may reveal ownership, purchase history, liens, mortgages, and other details useful in tracing or recovering illicit proceeds. Wage and salary records are generally maintained by the employer and are not normally available from external public sources without authority. Work email history is internal company information or electronically stored information requiring proper authorization. Personnel file documents are confidential employment records and are not public external records. Because real property records are usually maintained by government recording offices and are often publicly searchable, Maddie is most likely able to obtain information about real property assets without consent or legal order.
